I can imagine a scenario where Senate doesn't convict Trump but makes
sacrificial lambs of Hawley and possibly Cruz in an effort to salvage some fig leaf of respectability. (Let me add, they are NOT just lambs)
I'm not sure what "invoke the 14th amendment" means here. It prohibits those that have waged insurrection against the United States from serving in congress. It does not say how that is to be determined, or what the remedy is for somebody already in congress. Unless this can be decided with only 51 votes then Article 1 seems like a much clearer remedy. If congress found their behavior to be outrageous then can expel them. There is no need to define or find insurrection.
